Sparganum is the larvae of a parasite called Spirometra. It usually lives in snakes or frogs, which are parasitic on the human who consume them raw. Sparganum is presented with a form of mobile subcutaneous nodule in various parts of human body. A 78 years old man with palpable neck mass visited our clinics. He had a history of eating snakes raw about 50 years ago. He was diagnosed with Sparganosis through a fine needle aspiration biopsy and underwent excisional biopsy. Sparganosis should be considered when dealing subcutaneous palpable neck mass with history of consuming raw snakes or frogs.

2020년 7월 1일부터 공원일몰제가 시행되어 전국에 있는 미조성 공원이 지위를 상실하여 개인 사유지로서 개발이 가능하게 된다. 이는 애초에 개인에게 귀속된 토지를 공원으로 강제 지정하여 녹지를 유지하기 위함이었으나 개인의 재산권 침해 문제가 지속적으로 제기되어 왔고, 토지 소유자들의 권리를 인정하여 공원으로 지위를 해제하게 된 것이다. 서울시의 전체 공원 면적 $111.8km^2$중 $57.5km^2$가 미조성 공원이고 이 중 $55.1km^2$이 10년 이상 미집행 되어 2020년에 공원일몰제 시행 대상이다. 공원일몰제에 따른 난개발을 방지하기 위해 서울시는 토지 매입 예산을 책정하였으나 최근 과도한 부동산 가격 상승으로 인해 토지 보상비는 예산을 크게 웃돌 것으로 보인다. 때문에 서울시는 기존의 매입 기조를 수정해야만 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서 이에 대한 해결 방안으로 '수직 빌딩 숲(이하 빌딩숲)' 건축 보조금 지원을 제안하고자 한다. 빌딩숲은 토지 면적에 비해 높은 환경적인 효과를 보이며 기존 비용의 5%의 추가 비용으로 건축이 가능하다. 토지 가격과 녹지 유지의 필요한 정도를 위치에 따라 판단하고, 토지 매입 대신 건축 비용 보조를 통해서 환경적인 효과와 경제적인 효과를 동시에 도모할 수 있다. 따라서 이 연구는 특정 기준에 적절한 입지를 찾아 빌딩숲을 건축하는 것으로 공원일몰제의한 대안을 제시한다.

A pressure sensor is a device that converts an applied physical pressure into an electrical signal. Such sensors have a range of applications depending on the pressure level, from low to high pressure. Sensors that use physical pressure, when compared to those operating under air pressure, are not widely applied as they are inefficient. To solve this problem, graphene oxide, which exhibits good mechanical and electrical characteristics, was used to increase the efficiency of these pressure sensors. Graphene oxide has properties that control the movement of charges within the dielectric. Exploiting these properties, we evaluated the change in electrical characteristics when pressure was applied according to the ratio and thickness of the oxidation graph added to the pressure sensor.

In this part the writing group will cover strategies, techniques, and endpoints of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Prior to all, electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins is recommended during all AF ablation procedures. In addition, techniques to be used for ablation of persistent and long-standing persistent AF, adjunctive ablation strategies, nonablative strategies to improve outcomes of AF ablation, and endpoints for ablation of paroxysmal, persistent, and long-standing persistent AF will be reviewed. Currently many technologies and tools are employed for AF ablation procedures. Radiofrequency energy, cryoablation, and other energy sources and tools are in various stages of development and/or clinical investigation. Finally, anticoagulation strategies pre-, during, and postcatheter ablation of AF and technical aspects of ablation to maximize safety are discussed in this section.

여러 정부부처 및 지자체에서 도시지역 홍수 피해 및 비점오염원 저감 방안의 해법으로 LID 시설의 설치를 권장하고 있다. 하지만 LID 기술의 국내 도입 기간이 짧아 우리나라 환경에 맞는 LID 시공을 할 수 있는 업체가 한정적이고 시공경험도 많지 않아 시공 비용에 대한 경제성 분석이 어렵다. 이러한 문제점으로 인해 LID 설치 비용의 과대 인식과 실효성에 대한 불안감이 만연하여 시설 설치에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이와 관련하여 GI&LID 연구단에서 LID 통합설계모듈 등의 모형 개발 연구가 활발히 진행중이나 이에 앞서 금번 연구에서는 SWMM 모형을 이용하여 분석을 수행하였고, 가시적인 비교가 용이하고 최근 가장 큰 피해를 가져왔던 2014년 홍수 사상을 대상으로 연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구에서는 도시내 급경사면이 많고 불투수면적율이 높아 유속이 빠르고 완경사로 변화되는 구간에 홍수 및 토석류가 집중되어 홍수피해에 취약한 부산시 온천천 유역을 대상으로 LID 시설을 모의 설치 및 시뮬레이션 하고 재해연보 상의 홍수피해 복구액과 비교하였다. 이를 통해 LID 시설 설치시 비용-편익을 분석하고 이점을 제시하여 추후 있을 LID 시공 및 관련 연구에 도움이 되고자 한다.

In this study, finite element fatigue analysis combined with a fatigue correlation factor is proposed to predict the bending fatigue life of a gear in an electro-mechanical aircraft actuator. First, stress-life curves are obtained for the gear material via a round bar fatigue test. Subsequently, stochastic stress-life (P-S-N) curves are derived for 50% and 1% failure probabilities, separately. The curves are applied to the fatigue analysis model of a single gear tooth, and the effect of the fatigue correction factor is analyzed. The analytical P-S-N curves reflecting the fatigue correction factor matched the experimental data. This shows that the analytical fatigue life is reliable and that the analysis technique is effective.

Metabolic syndrome (MS) refers to a clustering of at least three of the following medical conditions: high blood pressure, abdominal obesity, hyperglycemia, low high-density lipoprotein level, and high serum triglycerides. MS is related to a wide range of diseases which includes obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. There remains an ongoing need for improved treatment strategies for MS. The most important risk factors are dietary pattern, genetics, old age, lack of exercise, disrupted biology, medication usage, and excessive alcohol consumption, but pathophysiology of MS has not been completely identified. Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) refers to steamed/dried ginseng, traditionally associated with beneficial effects such as anti-inflammation, anti-fatigue, anti-obesity, anti-oxidant, and anti-cancer effects. KRG has been often used in traditional medicine to treat multiple metabolic conditions. This paper summarizes the effects of KRG in MS and related diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, diabetes, dyslipidemia, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease based on experimental research and clinical studies.

To verify performance or conduct experiments using actual robots, a lot of costs are needed such as robot hardware, experimental space, and time. Therefore, a simulation environment is an essential tool in robotics research. In this paper, we develop the HUMIC simulator using ROS and Gazebo. HUMIC is a humanoid robot, which is developed by HCIR Lab., for human-robot interaction and an upper body of HUMIC is similar to humans with a head, body, waist, arms, and hands. The Gazebo is an open-source three-dimensional robot simulator that provides the ability to simulate robots accurately and efficiently along with simulated indoor and outdoor environments. We develop a GUI for users to easily simulate and manipulate the HUMIC simulator. Moreover, we open the developed HUMIC simulator and GUI for other robotics researchers to use. We test the developed HUMIC simulator for object detection and reinforcement learning-based navigation tasks successfully. As a further study, we plan to develop robot behavior intelligence based on reinforcement learning algorithms using the developed simulator, and then apply it to the real robot.

In this paper, we propose a destination optimal route algorithm for providing route finding service for the transportation handicapped by using the multi-criteria decision-making technique and the modified A-STAR optimal route search algorithm. This is a method to set the route to the destination centering on safety by replacing the distance cost of the existing A-STAR optimal route search algorithm with the safety cost calculated through AHP/TOPSIS analysis. To this end, 10 factors such as road damage, curb, and road hole were first classified as poor road factors that hinder road driving, and then pairwise comparison of AHP was analyzed and then defined as the weight of TOPSIS. Afterwards, the degree of driving safety was quantified for a certain road section in Busan through TOPSIS analysis, and the development of an optimal route search algorithm for the transportation handicapped that replaces the distance cost with safety in the finally modified A-STAR optimal route algorithm was completed.

This paper describes why we must use graphene materials for solar cells and biosensors. It has been superior in several properties such as super-thin film, higher tensile strength, high current density, high thermal conductivity, and high mobility. Therefore, graphene is one of the emerging advanced materials because of its applicability in various electronic device applications. We investigated the requirements of graphene materials for the application of solar cells and biosensors. In addition, we discussed the research trends such as transducers in biosensors and transparent electrodes in solar cells. The research on graphene materials and their application will be beneficial and helpful for the near future.
